Discussionin Gautam AdaniAdani Solar Case: Most Counts Dismissed With PrejudiceJared Kim · Aug 12, 2026

Solar-plus-storage rollout accelerates across businesses worldwideEnvironment — Jul 24, 2026Commercial and industrial PV systems increasingly rely on integrated solar-plus-storage to maintain power during grid outages, since grid-tied inverters cannot island and continue supplying critical loads. These systems come in DC-coupled configurations with a single hybrid inverter and AC-coupled configurations that add a separate battery inverter, both operable under manual or EMS-controlled management to supply independent, flexible energy when needed.

ACME Solar Signs 300 MW SECI PPABusiness — Jul 21, 2026ACME Solar, through ACME Renewtech Fifth, signed a 25-year SECI PPA for a 300 MW ISTS-connected wind-solar hybrid project at tariffs around ₹3.25 per kWh, expanding its contracted portfolio to 6,870 MW of an 8,070 MW total. The company also pursuing solar-plus-storage deals, including a 1,200 MWh FDRE project at ₹6.28 per unit and a 200 MW solar project with 100 MWh BESS, contributing to an overall roughly 8.1 GW portfolio with multiple PPAs and storage integrations slated to start around 2027–2028.

US finalizes up to 249% duties on Indian solar cells — Sep 11, 2026The United States has finalized steep anti-dumping and countervailing duties on solar cells and panels from India, Indonesia and Laos, with India facing AD 123.04% and CVD 126.09% (Indonesia and Laos rates vary up to 173.7% and 153.67% respectively). The USITC will issue a final injury determination on October 14, 2026; if it finds injury, duties would be formally ordered by early November, impacting Indian exporters and potentially prompting shifts to other markets as the investigation concludes.

Elena Vasquez Protecting local industry makes sense, but 249% duties seem extreme and could slow overall clean energy growth.

Sudan's war-damaged grid failure drives families to costly solar power — Sep 6, 2026With Sudan’s war-damaged electricity grid, capacity has plunged from about 4,400 to roughly 1,100 megawatts and billions in damages, leaving millions facing outages that disrupt education, health, and daily life. In response, households increasingly turn to rooftop solar—yet a typical 10-kilowatt system can cost around $5,000, a barrier for many amid soaring needs and a sun-rich environment that could power a broader shift if affordability improves.

Priya Raman With that much sun, Sudan should be a solar success story, not a cautionary tale about who can afford electricity.
